"One person can make a difference, but a CF Avenger can move mountains"

A huge thank you to all of CF's mightiest hero's who took Great Strides for cystic fibrosis throughout November. Together we will make a difference every day to families in the ACT and NSW.

Nicholas 3yrs AKA Superman and his brother Todd 7yrs AKA Spiderman joined the ranks in 2013. Both of the Minogue boys, have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and fight together through a variety of medications, nebulisers, physio and even hospitalisations.

Their equally super mum Tania told us "It was hard for us to juggle daily nebulised medications for both boys, being provided with a second nebuliser has made a huge impact on the boys complying with their treatment and the time spent administering it."

Our highest fundraiser will be finalised at the end of the month, so there is still time to donate to your hero by selecting their Great Strides location below. 2014 dates will be coming soon, so watch this space.
